Water Safety Programme<br />

The Water Safety Programme continued over the summer season in <strong>2011</strong>. Lifeguards were<br />

employed at Castlerea Swimming Pool. Swimming instruction courses for children were<br />

provided at <strong>Roscommon</strong> Leisure Centre and Castlerea Swimming Pool during the summer<br />

months.<br />

Outdoor Fitness Equipment<br />

<strong>Roscommon</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Council</strong> installed a range of outdoor fitness equipment in both the<br />

Pleasure Grounds, Boyle and Loughnaneane Park, <strong>Roscommon</strong> in November/December <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

The equipment is designed to cater for the needs of adults, including older persons in order to<br />

promote health and improve fitness<br />

levels for the benefit of all users.<br />

There are seven different pieces of<br />

exercise equipment provided at both<br />

locations. The project was jointly<br />

funded by the local authority and the<br />

Department of Transport, Tourism<br />

and Sport with assistance provided<br />

through the National Lottery. The<br />

equipment is fully operational during<br />

the opening hours of both facilities.<br />
